Lacey Hunter testified in support of HB2784. (Attachment 2) She said in her testimony that HB2784 makes several policy changes related to Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs). It further defines what a CCRC is and moved registration of CCRCs from the Kansas Insurance Department (KID) to the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS).
